juan how is the al-qaeda today different than the al-qaeda that attacked the u.s. on 9/11? >> well, in my view it's a mistake to refer to core al-qaeda and the affiliates as al-qaeda. the original al-qaeda was multinational and it made a decision to hit the far united states first because it felt like the united states was propping up these local states. so the things that are being al-qaeda in iraq and syria are not like that at all. they are not multinational. they have a national focus, and they are not interested, i think, very much in hitting the united states. they are just rad sunni islam, the political islam. >> when the president's claim was challenged by pointing out that their flag flies all over iraq and syria obama responded . . . david i want to go to you, a significant portion of al-qaeda leadership has been taken out. how has that effected their ability to coordinate and carry out any kind of attack? >> the first thing is i question whether a significant portion has been taken out and down for the count. when we look at this group it's a clandestine organiza
